How we determine your total Performance Points

  1. First, we determine the measure performance percentage for the 16 measures in the program 
  2. Next, we evaluate how many Performance Points a group has earned for each measure
  3. Then, we evaluate how many Improvement Points a group has earned for each measure
  4. We use the higher point value (either the Performance Points or Improvement Points)
  5. Last, we apply any Extra Credit Points that the provider earned during the program year and add that value to the total points
